This authoritative, beautifully written guide presents 231 of the most frequently performed pieces of chamber music by 55 composers. For each, the author gives a brief biography, followed by discussions of the individual compositions—both their historical and musical contexts and their salient features, including formal organization, content, and any extramusical associations. “No lover of chamber music should be without this Guide.”—John Barkham Reviews. Preface. Glossary. [5 3/8 x 8 1/2, 480 pp.]
